edit data

Thomas Olde Heuvelt (1983) is the international bestselling author of HEX. The much-praised novel was published in over twenty-five countries around the world and is currently in development for TV by Gary Dauberman. Olde Heuvelt, whose last name in Dutch dialect means “Old Hill,” was the first ever translated author to win a Hugo Award for his short story "The Day the World Turned Upside Down".

His new novel ECHO will be out with Nightfire Books in the US and Hodder & Stoughton on February 8, 2022. International publication of his novel ORACLE, which topped all the bestseller charts in The Netherlands in March '21, will follow soon thereafter.

Thomas lives in The Netherlands and the south of France and is an avid mountaineer.

Thomas Olde Heuvelt answered Andressa (Annie)'s question: Hex was amazing and I want to ask who's your favourite writer and which book you think changed your whole vision of the world? Thank you for your question, Andressa, and sorry for answering late! Really happy you loved HEX. Formative novels for me in my childhood were Roald Dahl's The Witches, which I read when I was 7, and Stephen King's Pet Sematary, which I read at 11. Th See Full Answer

Quotes by Thomas Olde Heuvelt (?)

“People find hope, comfort, or confidence in making the sign of the cross or not walking under a ladder, just as you find hope and confidence in offering a pennant to the witch. Magic exists in the minds of those who believe in it, not in its actual influence on reality.”
― Thomas Olde Heuvelt, Hex

“This is all it takes for people to plunge into insanity: one night alone with themselves and what they fear the most.”

“Later, when he was able to see the bigger picture, he imagined that wild animals must feel the same kind of uncontrollable fear when they first inhaled the smoky air of a forest fire.”
